[Scottish] DVDrw drives - advice?

[Huard, Elise - D C&W Consultant]

This looks interesting.  Where did you get it and how much does it cost ?
(found the Liteon one for about ?94)

Do you think that it's worth to put more cash on the table to get both
standards ?  I get the impression that the fight +-RW is at yet unresolved
and that there are big thriving companies on both sides ...
